Thursday, Sept 9

I love stitching delimnas. I have done just a bit more stitching on the Woody. I started on the wooden panels on the door and just love the way it is going, until I took my nose away from it and decided that the stitch should be angled the other way — you know to match the angle of the door. So moved on to the tire — using panache — love the big Oblong Cross on each side of the tire with the straight stitches in the center — looks like a tire. Think I will satin the white part of the tire. Now to the sand — using 2 ply of overdyed floss, I love it on the sand — The Double Hungarian Stitch mellows out the colors of the canvas but now, what do I do with the shadow under the car? Do I use the same color as the sand or do I more to more browns like the shadow? I found an Overdye floss that is the same color family but it has a lot of the lighter shades in it. Really can’t decide. Any suggestions?
